ONTARIO MMA RETURNS

Mixed martial arts returns to London Ontario this Saturday, as Provincial Fighting Championship
holds its first event at the Western Fair Agriplex building. This fight
card is loaded with local talent, and Kimurawear is very proud to
support and sponsor 4 of the fighters on the card.

Jesse Gross

In the co-main event of the evening, Jesse "The Ghost" Gross looks to
continue his hot streak and take out the undefeated Michael Karkula of
Extreme Couture Toronto. Gross is coming off a unanimous decision win
over another top Canadian in Tristan Johnson. If Jesse is able to take
out Karkula, he will be one step closer to making it to the big show.
Gross is mainly known as an explosive and devastating striker, but
showed solid wrestling skills in
his last bout against Tristan Johnson. This fight is worthy of its
co-main event status, and we look forward to watching Jesse go to war.

Shannon Ludlow

Shannon "The Cannon" Ludlow will be making her professional debut at
Provincial Fighting Championship. The London native fights out of the
Adrenaline Training Centre, which is where such mma stars as Mark
Hominick, Sam Stout,
and headlining fighter Chris Horodecki call home. Ludlow has fought once
as an amateur and looks to get the same result in her professional
debut. Shannon was able to score a third round submission win this past
July in Michigan.

Darryl Marin

Darryl Marin is making his professional mma debut at Provincial Fighting
Championship, but he is far from a newcomer to the art of fighting.
Darryl has competed in over 70 amateur and professional muay thai bouts,
nationally and internationally.
Marin is also the owner and main instructor at Darkside Muay
Thai in Kitchener Ontario. Having top notch stand up skills, would make
most think that Darryl is uncomfortable on the ground, but that is not
the case. Marin has been working on his
ground for quite some time and is ready where ever the fight goes.

Malcolm Gordon

Malcolm Gordon last competed at Substance Cage Combat in Toronto
Ontario, where he faced Ahmed Akkar. The ultra explosive flyweight was
allover his opponent and was able to set a pace that Ahmed could not
keep up.
Despite being deep in a triangle choke in the second round, Gordon was
able to finish off his opponent with strikes on the ground. After
pushing his record to 2-0 at SCC, Malcolm will look to make it three in a
row in London.

We look forward to this event and hope for it to be a success for #teamkimurawear as well as the PFC.
